1890] NOTED SPORTSMEN 209 



The Warwickshire Hounds stoj^ped hunting from 

 November Gth until the 13th, on account of the death of 

 Mr. Spencer Lucy. 



Major Cosmo Little, 5tli Lancers, Adjutant to the War- 

 wickshire Yeomanry Cavalry, went very well. He had 

 one specially good mare. Linnet, a chesnut, well bred, and 

 very fast. He took her to the Soudan with him. 



Colonel Paulet should have been mentioned before. 

 Though not a hard rider of late years, he loved the chase, 

 and was a valued member of the heavy brigade. He saw 

 a good deal of service in the 7tli Hussars at the close of 

 the Indian Mutiny. He had a wonderful dun cob, which 

 he once matched against Mr. Lucy's chesnut pony at 

 Warwick races, and beat him easily, owners up. 



Mr. John Lowe, of Ettington, is a thorough sportsman, 

 and rides hard, with great judgment. He is a great 

 farmer, and is county councillor for the division of Brailes, 

 &c. Though lately he broke his thigh, he is going again 

 as well as ever. 



Mr. J. F. Graskell, of Southam, is very popular in the 

 Hunt, and goes straight, particularly on a very nice little 

 roan mare. 



Mr. Charles Adamthwaite is a very fine rider, and 

 very fond of hunting. When remonstrated with for 

 jumping a high Higlit of rails close to an open gate a few 

 seasons ago, all he answered was, " They're running, my 

 dear boy, they're running," pointing to the fast vanishing 

 pack. He is one of the best. He has hunted for some 

 years from Braunston, but thoroughly enjoys a day with 

 the Warwickshire, and does not mind a long ride home. 



Mr. F. Sawrey-Cookson was a very determined rider. 

 In fact he went perfectly straight without opening a gate 

 as long as hounds ran. He thought a horse could jump 

 any fence, at any part of it, and, in consequence, got many 

 falls, and his style of going was perhaps not calculated for 

 reaching the end of a good run, though a fine horseman 

 with a marvellously quick eye to hounds. He had one 

 chesnut mare he bought from Mr. F. Butler — a wonder ;
